As part of doing business—so

Was part of doing business—

into his unwashed crotch,

Wasn’t out of the ordinary:
Powerful producers, reality TV stars,
Super predator presidents,
Multimillionaire quarterbacks,
Elected officials, political operatives,
Oscar-winning actors
have big shoes to fill:
following footsteps of
The Founding Fathers
